Choking Catarrh.

Have you awakened from disturbed sleep with
all the horrible sensations of assassin clutching
your throat and pressing the life-breath from your
frightened chest? Have you noticed the languor and
debility that succeed the effort to clear your throat
and head of this catarrhal matter? What depress-
ing influence it exerts upon the mind clouding the
memory and filing the head with pains and strange
nosesl How difficult it is to rid the nasal passages,
throat and lungs Of this poisonous mucus all can
testify who afflicted with catarrh How difficult
to protect the system against its further
towards the lungs, liver and kidneys all physicians
will admit 1t terrible disease and cries out for
relief and cure.
The remarkable curative powers, when all other
remedies utterly fail of SanfOrd's Radical Care are
attested by thousands who gratefully recommend it
to fellow-sufferers. No statement is made regard
ing it that cannot be substantiated by the most re-
spectacle and reliable references.
Each packet contains one bottle of the Radical
Cure, one box of the Catarrhal Solvent and an I'm
proved Inhaler with treatise and directions and is
sold by all druggists for 81.

TIE appraisement of the Baltimore u
Ohio railroad for taxation last year was.
for 32h miles in Belmont county. main
line S3O4,475, 969 miles siding $24,725,
rolling stock $50, 0,125, buildings and sta"
tionary machinery, $l3,600, moneys and
credits S2,246, total $425.171. From this
the State Board OF Equalization de-
Quoted S16,O25, leaving the net value for
taxation S409,1 ,146 This board consists
of the Auditor of State, the Treasurer
of State, and the Attorney General.
This year an effort was made to in
crease the valuation. Because the bal
ance of the appraisers would not agree
to value the track between Newark and
Columbus as high as that between New.
ark aud Bellaire, the Auditor of Frank
Iin county pulled back. and then it
was urged that there was no use 60
ing above the valuation fixed by the
State Board of Equalization. The ma
jority of this latter board attended the
appraisement at Newark, this year
coming down from Columbus in spe.
cial car with Captain Devries snd Mr..
James II. Collins. State Treasurer Brown
was not of the party.
Plain people are fast coming TO the
conclusion that special cars and passes
upon railroads for public officers should
be at an end, especially for that class OF
officers who are required to assess the
property of these corporations, or who
In any way stand between them and the
people. The public makes ample pro.
vision for all expense of travel its off,
GERS may be put TO, and it is high time
this degradation was at an end. II is
especially humilistisg that state officers
should sell their manhood at such small
price.

BREWERS in session at Baltimore
express the opinion ''that beer should
be classed as one of the necessities of
life." The brewers are modest gentle

necessity only on their own account.
Other people might manage to subsist
with plenty of bread, meat, vegetables,
tea and coffee and would doubtless live
out their allotted days, were beer rele-

THE Grand Jurors of the present term
of court were paid S436 10; witnesses
$500 90. Total cost of the Grand Jury,
excluding Sheriff and Clerks costs,

was the indictment Of liquor sellers. and
of men who furnished liquor in viola>
tion Of law; all of whom could have
been disposed of in the Probate Court
at about one-tenth the cost. The petit
jury will cost from 500 to SO0-msking
the total cost of jurors and state wit

There must be some relief afforded for
this useless drain upon the treasury.
The court, disgusted with the stream of
petty cases of violations of the liquor
law, expressed itself in strong terms.
The Legislature should take all that
kind of business from the Common

THE Gazette makes no objection to
Democratic Auditors holding passes
over railroads, and at the same time
requiring the county to pay them mile
age when travelling over the roads to
appraise them ;but makes great uproar
because the Commissioners charge mile-
age, and has asserted time and again
that "all these miles" were Travelled by
the Commissioners upon free passes" "
We ask attention to the following per-
tinent letter:
BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY,
Ohio Divisions, Div. Superintendent's Office,
NEWARK, ONO, May 26, 1887.
misunderstanding your favor of May
18th, / am unable to find from the files OF this
office that any passes were issued to either of
the Commissioners of Belmont county within
the past two years.
Respectfully, R. T. DEVRIES, Supt.
To the Commissioners of Belmont county, O..
The railroads could have no object in
giving passes to the Commissioners.
They can be of no assistance to them
whatever. The Auditor, on the other
hand. appraises their property for taxa
ton, and that officer they looked after /;
and then he made the people pay him
mileage that cost him nothing.
